Luminary

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for your note and for removing the hang on tag. You are correct I did not want the article removed. I am having some difficulty with posting photographs of the sculpture I am writing about and meant to post the tag for the photographs only.

Thank you, Jill — Preceding unsigned comment added by JillRGordon (talk • contribs) 16:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Nancy,

Thank you very much for the explanation. I was getting very frustrated and your note helped quite a bit.

Could you restore that page and take it to AfD or PROD. It isn't a slam dunk enough for speedy. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 17:12, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Peregrine I am not restoring it & if you had seen it you would understand why. It was a gross WP:BLP violation which existed only as a coatrack to peddle unsubstantiated rumour and speculation copied from the National Enquirer. I have no problem with recreation though - as I said in the protection log, please free to create a neutral, well sourced article in userspace and then take it to any admin to request the unprotection of the title. Best, Nancy 17:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

User:Peregrine Fisher/Rachel Uchitel. I left out the Woods stuff. You may want to semi protect or full protect: not sure. I'm not going to creat too fancy of an article, since it's going to be put up for AfD instantly, and I don't want to waste too much time. It turns out she arguably has passed WP:GNG and WP:NOT#NEWS before this latest scandal. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 17:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Belmez

Not sure why you deleted this dis page, but I'm overturning your actions. Their are two other articles with Belmez in them, and I had asked about doing so here http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2009_November_25#Belmez Smarkflea (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, not overturning, but I will re-create if you can't give a better explanation. Thanks... Smarkflea (talk) 21:50, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I created the dis page because "Belmez" shouldn't go to just that page. I was looking up "Belmez Faces", and it wasn't readily accessible because of that re-direct... Smarkflea (talk) 22:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Please see WP:DAB - where there are only two terms to disambiguate a standalone DAB page is redundant as the diasambig can be dealt with by hatnotes at the top of each article (as has been done in this case). Best, Nancy 10:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Anatomy Vessel (Saplings)

Hi Nancy -

Thanks for adjusting my articles (Anatomy Vesssel (Saplings) and Entangled). I have a question for you. I originally wrote the Anatomy Vessel (Saplings) article on mytalk page so the artist could review it before going live. I assumed that by moving the article it would clear from mytalk page - but it didn't. I tried to clear it myself and it deleted the moved article too. Can you tell me how to fix it? Or do it for me?

Help

Hi! I beg your pardon for disturbing you and i beg your pardon for my bad english too, as i'm not a native english speaker. However, i decided, in order to prevent an edit war, to ask to an admin about the article http://en.wikipedia.org/Josip_Broz_Tito. I start editing the article one day ago and two users (http://en.wikipedia.org/User:DIREKTOR, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:AlasdairGreen27) deleted my addings to the article, stating they were pov. I imagined that they considered them pov because they were unsourced, so i insert (instead of my previous addings) a new section, which i heavily sourced recurring to books and articles from historians and scholars. But AlasdairGreen27 deleted it again. I noticed (from the talk of the article:http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Josip_Broz_Tito and http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Josip_Broz_Tito/Archive_2) that both users had keep deleting any new section of the article that may be perceived as critic towards tito, supporting each others in doing so against a lot of different users. I also noticed, as i can see from their user pages, they both come from ex-yugoslavia and (from what i can see from direktor's page) that direktor even supports titoist yugoslavia. I tell you this, because i'm starting to think that they may have delete my passage, because of their personal view of tito, not because it was pov. The situation is getting worse because they refuse to discuss the delation and they keep talking agressive to me (even insulting me and in general any users from other wikipedias), so i really don't know what to do and i ask you to please, if you can, express your opinion on the matter, in order to prevent this situation to became an edit war. Thanks. --AndreaFox (talk) 22:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Images

Hi,

I am having such a hard time loading images. I have tried everything to correct the problem, but I can't seem to fix them.

ThanksEris1999 (talk) 03:58, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Eris. Can you be a bit more specific about the problem you are having? I saw that you tried to add File:Table of Contents Front.jpg to an article and the problem there is that the name doesn't exist but I'm guessing that's a just symptom of what you need help with? Best, Nancy 08:20, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

How do I get the name to extist?Eris1999 (talk) 20:37, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Untitled

Hi, you just deleted a page I created about "The Stinky Will (cocktail)" but as I removed the links to wikipedia's pages promoting companies and, this is a real article about a real cocktail as we can find on wikipedia (bloody mary or even here : List Of Cocktails) I don't really understand the reason why you deleted it. It's not a try to promote bands or anything but the fact is that a member of an existing band created this cocktail. Have a nice day,

Sock of Tancarville/Mobile Historian

Just FYI, it looks like our friend is back at it with User:Nemesis029, a new account whose edits to date involve vandalism and edit warring on the Maltese nobility article and tinkering with my user page .  RGTraynor  20:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

LOL, what a silly troll he is. I see he got sock-blocked pretty rapidly; I'd have done the same if I had been on line. Best, Nancy 07:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah ... there are times with these serial vandals when you want to grab them by the shoulders and ask them if they realize how pathetic it all is! (waves cheerfully)  RGTraynor  14:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Sizzle (great username by the way). Maybe I should stick to template messages, LOL. Nancy 08:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Keith Ransom-Kehler

Hi Nancy. I noticed that you recently removed a copyvio tag from the Keith Ransom-Kehler article because Bahaikipedia is a copyleft site. However, GFDL-only text can no longer be used on Misplaced Pages since the switch to dual licensing on June 16 (see Misplaced Pages:Licensing update). Just thought I'd let you know. :) Regards, Theleftorium 13:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Goodness, I take a backseat for a few months and when I come back everything has changed! Thanks for the nudge. All best, Nancy 15:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Image deletion nominations

Thanks for this edit. I doubt you guys really have an idea how much work has so far gone into cleaning up the FOP mess of your group but we seem to be getting there now. I have done little else here for the last week, maybe spending upwards of 10 hours on this issue alone; that is not constructive editing for me. Each individual image has had to be reviewed at least once and, for ease of finding them, grouped on a worksheet where another editor has also helped out with nominations and making lower resolution files. When the nominated images are gone I intend reviewing the remaining contributions to see if anything has been missed, though that is something you could possibly do for us. You are welcome to add new sections or notes as appropriate on my worksheet if you do any more work on this. I am watching this page for a while because I like to keep discussions in one place, so just reply here. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 14:54, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Now that I looked at your history, I see you are an admin and that you have done a load of work on these images too. Thanks again. ww2censor (talk) 15:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes I'm not part of the project! - no worries :. I've mainly been working on the article content (chock full of WP:OR and other crimes against encyclopaedias) but have also done a bit of work with the image copyrights here on en-wiki and also getting them deleted from commons as copyvios. Your worksheet is a great resource - wish I'd know about it a couple of days ago! All best, Nancy 20:14, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Joe McElderry

Hello Nancy. I notice you gave a warning to User:Hassaan19. I hope that my 31-hour block did not exceed what you thought was the best response there; you can adjust it if you prefer another result. I've been following this case for a month or so and given previous warnings, and judged that this action showed Hasaan19 was just not paying attention at all. EdJohnston (talk) 14:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Seems right to me, just long enough to be inconvenient to him & make him understand that he must play by Wiki rules not his own. Nancy 17:40, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Joe is now in the TOP THREE or to put it another way he's a FINALIST ~ so according to Misplaced Pages rules, he warrents his own page now, so stop being a bully and let him have his own page... play by the Misplaced Pages rules please and stop issuing bullying-tone messages to me.
